[LOUIS XVI]. -LEARDI (Paolo). In Funere LudoviciXVI. Galliæ et Navarræ regis christianissimi oratio habita in sacello Quirinali ad sansctissimum dominum nostrum Pium sextum pont[tificem] max[imum]. Romæ, apud Lazarinos, 1793. Large in-4 (31x22,8cm), (2dont la seconde blanche)-v-(1)-55-(uneblanche)pp., brown calf, smooth spine adorned with gilt roulette between gilt fillets, wide gilt frame on the boards including flowered medallions linked by foliage scrolls emerging from horns of plenty, decorated edges, gilt edges; top board a little stained, spine faded, covers and edges a little rubbed, some marginal soiling (period binding). First edition, printed in the workshop of Luigi Lazarini, printer to the Apostolic Chamber. Copper-engraved illustrations: 7vignettes by Alessandro Mochetti, Carlo Antonini, Pietro-Leone Bombelli, after drawings by Carlo Antonini, Pietro-Leone Bombelli, Francesco Morro and Luigi Sabatelli: 2bandeaux (portraits of PiusVI and LouisXVI), 2culs-de-lampe, 2initials, and a vignette on the title, allegory of the Revolution represented as a hydra ruining the arts, plundering the horns of plenty and threatening the fleurs de lys. Funeral oration of Louis XVI delivered before the Pope. It was read in Latin on September 28, 1793 in the papal chapel of the Quirinal, in the presence of PiusVI, the Sacred College (including Cardinal de Bernis, former ambassador of monarchical France to Rome, deposed by the Republic, who sang mass for the soul of the deceased king), and Mesames Marie-Adélaïde and Victoire, aunts of LouisXVI. Paolo Leardi, then secret cameraman, would later become apostolic nuncio in Vienna, from 1817 to 1823. If, in his consistorial address of June 17, 1793, PiusVI had been able to envisage the sanctification of LouisXVI as a martyr, he subsequently modified his position, and allowed his secret camerere to decry France here as a hotbed of philosophy and disorder, and to blame the monarchy and the monarch himself for the morals of the Court, the American War, the trust placed in Necker (a foreigner and Protestant), and the approval given to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. This funeral oration was subsequently published in French and Italian. Beautiful neoclassical Italian binding.
